In the same way, anyone who's a horse is normal, has normal sickness and can carry on with life. A zebra, contains all the rare people, all the rare diseases that go unnoticed because everyone thinks of a horse first.

This story is about a girl who's a zebra, she's not normal, she doesn't know it yet and no one can change who she is not even herself. Find out how she finds out, lives and enjoys her life. 

This is a tribute for the May awareness for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome! My way of raising awareness.

Autoimmune: This Is My Story by JMH_Writer

My true life story of suffering from a rare autoimmune disease of the liver, its diagnosis, prognosis, treatments, its debilitating impact on my life and how I learned, and am still learning, to cope with it day to day. Hopefully, this'll help someone dealing with something similar, because there is, in my eyes, not much worse than long term pain and long term illness, especially when there's not someone nearby who understands its debilitating nature.

Being Different (editing) by ClaudiaWallace2

All werewolves are the same...beautiful, powerful, brave and can shift into a wolf. Me...I got dubbed a bad hand and I was a weird werewolf human crossbreed. Which meant that I didn't have a wolf, I had the heightened hearing, strength, speed, smell even sight when I wanted too. But my wolf was silent and I couldn't shift. ~~~~ A girl so different she was abused and tortured for it.

The Miracle of a Teenage Romance by Bravesgurl

Caden grabs both of Lilly's hands, pulls them close to him, and says, "Lilly, please stop saying that. It's not your fault Caleb's a jerk who likes to fight and I can't find any better of a friend than you. Do you know why?" Lilly shakes her head in confusion and Caden continues, "Because Lilly, the truth is...you are the greatest friend I have ever had. I am so glad I met you and ran after you yesterday. In fact, if it wasn't for me meeting you yesterday and hanging out with you, I most likely wouldn't be here right now." Confused, Lilly asks, "Wh-what do you mean you most likely wouldn't be here? Where would you be?" Caden replies, "Gone." Lilly questions, "Gone? Caden, what do you mean gone?" ************************** Lilly's life is good, she has God, her family, friends, and cheerleading to get her through life. However, one day, things start to change. Her friends start to pull away, the new boy at school, Caden, begins showing interest in her and on top of all that she starts having dizzy spells, sometimes so bad it almost makes her faint. Lilly's life is changing, and changing fast. What will happen next? WARNING: There is very mild cussing in the first few chapters! If u don't like that fact, I'm sorry.

"its hard to love someone and not know if they even feel the same way. Because one day they will be in someone else's arms. They will be happy and you're standing there hurt because you were scared to make a stupid move. I don't want to wait any more. I don't want to hide the feelings anymore. I don't want to be scared. Even though I still am"

All It Took // Jonah Marais by baby_kuwonu

Based off the movie: Everything, Everything "I'm not really sick am I?" This is my whole world. My nurse, my mom, my sickness. I'm 18 and I've never been outside. If I did. . . I would probably die. Hi, I'm Lily. Lily probably sounds like a normal name given to a normal girl. A girl that goes to the mall with her friends on the weekend, goes to parties, is popular? Well that's not me. I'm not normal. I deal with severe combined immunodeficiency, or for short SCID. That means I'm allergic to any and everything. I've never been outside. My whole life I've been blocked from the outside world by a thick layer of glass. But that changed when he came. All it took was one smile.

The Girl with no Emotions (GirlxGirl) by Kathy202

I was only 7 when I met her, but we had an instant connection. We were inseperable. She was always happy and joyful around me, but me on the other hand, I was a completely different story. I suffered a disorder that caused me to have no emotions. I told her my condition and she understood, but one day she dissapeared, I didn't feel sad, worried or angry like I should have. I just continued my day like any other day, but by myself. I continued to have no friends as I got older and talked to no one, but it didn't bother me. I soon became the "weirdo" as most people would say. I became known as the girl with no emotions.

Everyones Obsessed* by Cie1_5

The past carries an unjust history. Immoral actions mark the present. The future holds untold consequences. Bad things happen to good people, and good people do bad things. | | || ||| ||||| |||||||| ||||||||||||| You, of all people, should understand the obsession. Whether it's the endless hours lost to a screen, the compulsion to scroll through forums, the need for that next high, the haunting grip of past trauma, the fixation on someone unattainable, the pursuit of a fleeting feeling, or even the inexplicable attachment to something as simple as frogs-obsession has woven itself into every corner of your life. •__ •_ •• •_• •_• • •••• / ••_ • •_• I have done terrible things because I let obsession take over me. It wasn't always that way. It started as a lie; it became true one day. I told myself I was in control and could stop anytime, but I only lied to myself. I was powerless. I never wanted to hurt anyone; I hurt him and myself. Now, I'm left with the wreckage of my choices. I wonder if there's any way to get things back to how they were before. Xgbs bqf zpv patfttfc xisg? To us, they are just another random person: the letters carved on the table, the artist of old graffiti, the person who also walked into the restroom, the reason the trash is full, or the garbage thrower on the side of the streets. But to them, they're the main fucking character in their own story, and each mark, item, digital trace, and photo they have makes a fragment of their existence. We may never know their face or name, but the traces they left remind us that everyone's lives intersect, creating a vast web of connections; unnoticed or not, they are never truly invisible.
